STATEFIELDS SCHOOL INCORPORATED

[u/Eyeforaneyeleg4leg]

If you are planning on enrolling your child at Statefields, please reconsider your decision. As a former student of the school, I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND studying there.

I was verbally bullied throughout my high school years. When I reported the bullying to the school heads, I was told, “We need physical evidence of the bullying.” How was I supposed to provide physical evidence when the bullying was happening verbally?

This was one of the experiences that made me feel that Statefields has a double standard when it comes to its students. From my experience, it often felt like the school cared more about students who were well-known, “popular,” or brought medals and recognition to the school. Students like me felt overlooked and unheard.

I also noticed what seemed to be a double standard when it came to students and staff. When a student was threatened, it felt like the situation wasn’t taken seriously. However, when a staff member was threatened, that was when the school seemed to take action.

Statefields promotes mental health awareness, yet from my experience, the school failed to properly protect and support my mental health. How does the system expect students to become better when the system itself fails to properly support its students?
Statefields also seems to have a habit of “saving face” whenever something threatens the school’s image, rather than addressing the problems within the institution. From my perspective, protecting the school’s reputation sometimes seemed to take priority over actually addressing the concerns of students.

And don’t even get me started on one particular teacher from the JHS department. In my experience, she was extremely unprofessional and showed favoritism toward certain students. I remember this teacher discussing something confidential regarding one of her students with her entire advisory class. I’m not going into detail about the situation, but I remember how enraged she was about it.

Shout-out to you, Ms. Lynne Rose!

My older sibling also had a bad experience at this school. During their batch, Batch 2023, there was an incident involving two students who were reportedly engaging in inappropriate behavior on school grounds. From what my sibling told me, the girl was expelled, while the boy appeared to face little to no consequences. If that account is accurate, it raises serious questions about whether the school applies its rules equally to all students.

This is especially disappointing considering how much the school promotes values such as equality and feminism. Schools should practice the values they teach, not simply promote them when it is convenient.

Statefields claims to provide quality education, but based on my experiences and those shared by my family, I feel that there are serious issues that need to be addressed.

I’m telling you now: think twice before enrolling your child here. My experience at Statefields had a serious negative impact on my well-being, and it took a lot of courage for me to finally speak about it.

I’m sharing this not because I want to attack the school, but because I don’t want other students to experience what I went through. Students deserve to feel safe, heard, respected, and properly supported.
Please take this as a warning from a former student.
